NEW YORK — Alec Baldwin's attorneys claimed in a new court filing that the now-former special prosecutor who investigated the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of 'Rust' used the case to advance her career and that public statements made in the case have violated his constitutional rights.
This file handout photo released April 25, 2022, courtesy of Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office and part of the investigative files, shows actor Alec Baldwin being processed after the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Oct. 21, 2022.
When the district attorney's office announced last year that Reeb would join the team investigating the October 2021 on-set shooting, Reeb was a candidate for the New Mexico House of Representatives. Reeb asked the district attorney to"publicize the fact that she was working on the case in order to advance her political career," Baldwin's attorneys wrote in the motion, claiming it was an"abuse of the system" and violated Baldwin's constitutional rights.
His attorneys cited a statement from the district attorney's office spokesperson in response to the defense's motion seeking to disqualify Reeb, which said in part that Baldwin and his lawyers"can use whatever tactics they want to distract from the fact that Halyna Hutchins died because of gross negligence and a reckless disregard for safety on the 'Rust' film set."
